Forgive my lack of experience with WIndows in general;

However you'll likely need the MySQL C libraries
and a compiler of some kind (Visual Studio / C++ ?)
in order to install mysql-python from source...

You're probably better off finding a pre-built binary
distribution (or a pure python lirbary).

Either way, you'll need MySQL install (at the very least mysqlxx.dll
or something)
